I have been on the fence about buying the Tailboom cover for a while. I finally got to see it at IRCHA and thought it looked great. I ordered one and put it on last week. All of a sudden my 700 feels brand new again. It gives it an updated look, and the presence both in the air and on the ground is fantastic. It looks even better than I thought it would. It's worth every penny. Heres a side by side comparison:

Looks great!

I hope they come out with one for the upcoming 700SX as it really helps with visibility.

Wow! That just makes the boom look skeletal

very nice, HCB makes quality products.

get the carbon boom for it , will knock off around 100 grams from the tail. made a big difference for me.

can check mine out on Vstabi forum if you like.

Makes a lot of difference definitely, but wish it narrows down more towards the tail.

I like the tail fin paint. Can you tell me where you got the color? It matches really well. I tried to buy some from mikado but they don't carry it. I was going through the photo bucket pics and saw one with the fin painted with both the orange and the yellow. Is that one yours? I've seen fins painted orange before, but adding the yellow really tied it together perfectly. I'll be firing up my airbrush!😀
